Unhappy Reflect laser beam?

I'm trying to reflect a laser beam with a mirror(like on a holography table). I'm using a spot light with volumetrics, radiosity, and caustics on... I have two questions:

1) Is there a better (i.e. more effective) way to make something that approximates a laser beam?

2) I've added a small box with 100% reflection (i.e. a mirror), but when rendered, the beam doesn't reflect off the mirror, but only internally (INTO the mirror). Is there a way to make the beam reflect back from the mirror?

See the attached pic for reference of the problem.


Thanks,
